Method is no longer appliable due to Skype's end. Check here for other way.

WARNING!!!! DON'T EXPECT HACK TO BE WORKING CORRECTLY IF YOU DON'T DISABLE OTN SUPPORT IN "EXTENDED" SERVICE MENU!!!!!!

!

WARNING!!!! DON'T ASK FOR HELP WITHOUT PROVIDING SCREENSHOT OF ROOTING APP LOG!!!!!!!

!

WARNING!!!! DON'T ASK FOR HELP WITHOUT ROOTING USING LAN CONNECTION!!!!!!!

!

WARNING!!!! DON'T EXPECT HACK TO BE WORKING CORRECTLY IF YOU EVER UNPLUG ROOTING USB !!!!!!

Preliminaries:

This rooting method requires fat formatted usb disk.

This requires Skype, but you won't be able to use it.

It seems that having both a recording device AND the rooting USB attached helps a lot.

Menu->System->General->Quickly Power OFF Samsung - this option must be OFF

Menu->System->General->Samsung Instant ON - this option must be OFF(if these options are not existing on your TV, simply don't set them!)

In case you're asked to "attach" some files, paste them directly to forum if they're of reasonable size, please don't make the job more difficult by posting 1 byte file on dropbox for example.

For bigger stuff, advice is to post log(s) to http://ctrlv.it and use any web image hosting of your choice to paste screenshots. Please respect that, we had already ran out of quota due to huge profusion of useless crap uploaded directly to forum.

If rooting successful, write FULL TV model and FULL firmware name/version. Thanks

In my opinion an update to public thread would be fine, so that current non-donor E/F users could enjoy a new version as well. And H users already have a good reason to go through Extras to be able to use it

Hi sectroyer, thank you for your great job! I will try it asap
Just a question: i can see in your advise that we never have to unplug the rooting usb. In the public old rooting method for f series, that use a Skype bug to work (like your root), you was able to unplug the usb after the root process and you was unable to use Skype; so this is not possible with this new procedure?
I will be unable to use Skype?
Thanks you one more time for your work!

Yes this was a bug in old f rooting method. It's fixed both in "latest" rooting method for F and in this H rooting method
